SUSPENDER-LOOP.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 257,738, dated May 9, 1882. Application filed April 1, 1882. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SOLON E. MOORE, a citizen of the UnitedStates, resident of Swanton, in the county of Franklin and State of Vermont, have invented a new and valuable Improvementin Suspender-Loops; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon.

Figure 1 of the drawings is a representation of the loop in perspective. Fig. 2 is ah enlarged perspective view of thesame. Fig. 3 is a horizontal section through the clasp, and Fig. 4 is a longitudinal section through the ferrule.

Thisinvention has relation to cord suspenderloops; and it consists in connecting the ends of the cord by a transverse metallic tube or ferrule and in holding the cords together below the ferrule to form the button-loop; also, in the construction and novel arrangement, in connection with the loop-cord, of the transverse punched ferrule and the clasp, all as hereinafter set forth, and particularly pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, the letter a designates the loop-cord, which is of sufficient length to form the button-loop b and to'con-. nect the same to the transverse tubular bar or The ends d of the cord extend transversely toward each other within this ferrule, which is bound around them and connects them together securely. As the strain on the cord is at an acute angle from each end of the loop, the tendency for the end of the cord to pull out of the ferrule is not great. As an adend, as indicated at e, to engage the ends of the cord. In this manner is formed a triangular loop, whereof the transverse portion is inclosed in the ferrule, and the sides 9 g of the cord are held in at their middle portions to form the button-loop b by means of the metallic clasp o'r clamp h. This clamp consists of a metallic band usually, which is bent around the sides 9 got the cord-loop, holding them together; and in order that the clamp shall possess strength at its edges from which the cords diverge to ward the transverse ferrule,itis preferably made convex between the top and bottom portions.

A cord or band bent upon itself and confined by clasps or fastenin gs to form loops for the button-holes is not new, and is not broadly claimed herein.

Having described this invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s-

1. A triangular cord-loop for suspenders, having its ends secured in and held together by the transverse ferrule o and its sides held in to form the button-loop by a clasp or clamp, substantially as specified.

2. The cord-loop a, the transverse punched ferrule c, holding its ends together, and the clamp 71., holding the sides together to form the button-loop, substantially as specified.

In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two witnesses.
